Aussee, August 8, 1897
early [in the morning]
Dear Wilhelm,
News at last, and so I am also answering instantly.
We were cut off, but most comfortable and undisturbedly well. It was, by the way, thrillingly beautiful. Now trains are running again via Bruck — southern line; my sister has already taken this route. Three days ago I wrote to your dear wife in Brühl, asking her to give us the dates of her visit. One way or another you will have seen that letter by now. Well, our plans are to leave on the 20th or 21st, make stops along the way to Venice, and at the end of the month meet my brother (and Dr. Gattel) in Venice. It is clear that these decisions were made with a view to Martha's period around September 1 and my brother's vacation time, and that, in the absence of any other clues to go by, we had to make our plans around these fixed dates. I was then most surprised to receive a letter from you from Merano.
